...Denon's new S-301 is a 2.1 home-theater system-in addition to its combination DVD player and audio amplifier, it has just two speakers and a subwoofer. It's compact, but packs a wallop, with special Dolby technology built in to ensure vivid surround sound on DVD movies. One of its key features is its iPod connection...
...Joseph's story a step further. He is a major supporting character in erstwhile vampirologist Anne Rice's current best seller, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. And he has a lead role in Holding Heaven, a novella by Jerry Jenkins, co-author of the Left Behind series. An audio version of the new book will air on more than 300 radio stations around Yuletide.

After a few minutes of blips and whooshes, the system had aligned itself around the microphone, which had been standing in for me and my ears...
...might absorb sound. In that case, I highly recommend the YSP-800. In a more cavernous room, the YSP would have no way to bounce sound and would lose a certain amount of depth. If that's your situation, you might want to try a speaker such as Polk Audio's SurroundBar ($950), which does require an amplifier, but replaces five unsightly speakers in a way that's not dependent on the shape of the room...
